I would like to welcome Take The 7 Train to MLb Blogs. When he posts GO AND COMMENT. We must strengthen the Mets Blog community. To go to his blog go to http://takethe7train.mlblogs.com/ . So go check it out now!!!!!
Well I am somewhat happier now that I have info on Ollie. The Mets are very interested in bringing him back. This means they don't want to upset anyone and they'll check in and see if it's worth bidding, but if not they won't bother. I think he will want to come back, but it will depend on how high the Mets will go. He has said he's happy in New York (and we all know New York is happy with him).
I also know that he will use Carlos Silva's deal as a selling point. Now if I'm correct he got a 4 year 40 million dollar deal, so Ollie will want maybe 4 years 60 million? I would give him that money, because if the Mets ever make the playoffs again he will be very valuable. Also we all love him in NY, and I would love watching him pitch in a pitchers park like Citifield. Finally the interested teams include, Blue Jays, Rangers, and Mets. The Rangers aren't going to spend a lot on anyone because they'll need money for when Hamilton is up so I don't see them really contending, and Toronto has said they aren't going after any 'big' name players. So that leaves the Mets.
Next I would like to show you some pictures from Citi Field. It is coming along very nicely. I will show you the computer images then the current ones.
The Robinson Rotunda
This is beautiful I love the Robinson Rotunda and can't wait to go through there on opening Day 09. I will have more on that later, but here is the real life current photo from mets.com.
Well I was emailing with Eli from MLB Rumors and I asked him where according to his sources Ollie could go, this is what I got. (Copy and pasted give credit to him)
- They have not yet started sitting down with his agent, Scott Boras, but plan to do at the Winter Meetings. - GM Omar Minaya does not know the asking price for Perez; however, he is very interested in retaining Oliver Perez (Source: Adam Rubin, Daily News.
- From what I know, the Mets, Blue Jays, Rangers have shown some interest in the left-hander.
I won't post any Hot Stove today unless their is a trade. In that case be right at your computer. But in any other case you better kick back and watch some

Well enjoy your Thanksgiving, I know I will. And on one more note a few snl vids to go out with. Turkeys, and The Blizzard Man.
I will talk about where CC will land, Huston Street, and a preview of my 2009 coverage.
Well until about yesterday it looked as though CC would land in the Bronx with the New York Yankees, but reports are coming in that CC will be offered about 140 million from the Angels which brings up the topic of.. Will he want to be closer to home for a little bit less money? If I was him I would sign in LA with the Angels so you have championship hopes, close to home, and the same amount of money. The Angels could have a pretty freakin scary rotation that would go Sabathia, Lackey, Santana, Saunders, and Weaver. I wouldn't wan to be the Athletics, Rangers, or Mariners if that would be the case.
Reports of a potential Huston Street for Heilman and Feliciano trade were made. They also said that the Mets declined these offers?! Why you could add a quality reliever for 2 garbage
arms. I mean you dump Feliciano and Heilman and get Street, it would only be better if they also gave up Luis Castillo. I mean a really good 8th inning guy to dump a bunch of garbage. It would be like a guy coming up and offering you a million dollars for half a sandwich.
Well the people have spoken and I will change my line-ups a lot. here is a demo from opening day last year.
Mets
1 Hitting lead-off with a lot to prove even though he is coming off a great SBs year Jose Reyes. Short Stop
(2007 stats or stats up to that point in season)
I would do that for each player than the mangers and pitchers. Then I would talk about the game and any other buzz around the bigs, then recap all the other games, or post all the other starting pitchers and records and starting times. Because TWW is the place to be for all of 2009 and beyond!
And here is a video summing up the week from www.espn.com
Before I post 2 things. 1 is if you come here and like it TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!!! I would love nothing more than to be back in the top 50 it makes me mad seeing all those Phillies blogs who think they are better than us!!! Don't do it for me.... BUT FOR THE ORANGE AND BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I am happy with some of the new blogs popping up. Like How Would You Manage The Mets, and there was one more that I saw but I can't remember the name so go there and comment. We have to strengthen up the Mets blogging community!
Ok now down to business with the Phillies losing Chase Utley and Pedro Feliz until June of next year so we will have a chance to jump out to a quick lead if we are going to play like we
should. This means that Victorino will be moved up to number 2 while Werth hits 3rd, Howard 4th and then it's a question mark in Philly. Now with them losing Utley it could very much change the decision on Burrell. Now they claim this doesn't effect the offseason plans they had, but it very much does. This now mean that they will actively pursue another power bat to fill in for Burrell. They will probably go with Tadihito Iguchi at second for the first half of the year. Tim Kerjikan says he wouldn't be surprised to see Utley back by May, but who cares what he thinks? They could go after Manny, but that would be the intelligent thing to do that wouldn't get you on ESPN after some dude we have never heard of is the great story of 2009. Knowing the Mets luck lately I woudn't be surprised. On the other hand I think that they could go and trade for Ryan Church (this isn't a insert joke here post so don't). The Mets don't want him the Phils got prospects and now talent so why not? A Church for Romero swap? That would work for both sides.
Next the Mets and their bipolar disorder with K-Rod. Do you want him or not? On friday it was by the end of the weekend and yesterday it was doughtful so I won't believe anyone until he has signed a deal somewhere. I don't want the Mets getting Jenks because he doesn't have the big city experience. Huston Street isn't the answer either. I think he is a 1 and done. JJ Putz is the same as Jenks and Street combined for me because he has no experience and is inconsistent. So get K-Rod Mets!!!
Finally the Yankees have dissed Hank Steinbrenner (Insert Joke Here) Well I liked The Nooner's take on it go watch the 11-21 edition at www.thenoonerblog.com it is part of the www.sny.tv tree of blogs.
Wow...... Wow...... Wow..... Aaron Heilman expects a team to want him to start...... Wow..... Wow....
Ok now that I am done wowing I can start with the real stuff (Wow......). He has said that he wants to be a starter or traded. Trade him! We all know he won't ever be effective in the Big Applr again (Wow................)
Well I will compare the 08 Mets collapse to some other ones.
Well I love taking a hit at the Yankees so I am happy to show this to your left. This one was shock factor and just haha in your face type collapse so the world's best collapse trophy is still their's.
Wow... I thought the Mets payed Santana too much money. This is crazy and now there are reports that they way overshot the asking price of 100 Million dollars by the Milwaukee Brewers. Thats is flat out Yankee Steinnbrenner style. Completely blowing the sh*t out of your opponents when you don't have to. so sit and laugh Mets fans.
